If you are using a Windows 10-powered device and had to initially set up your Account right after you first purchased it then you may be aware of the importance a Microsoft account is. If you have not followed through the steps then to recap, Microsoft asks its users to sign in on their new Windows 10-powered devices with the help of their Microsoft accounts. The reason for this is because Microsoft uses the account to sync and save your settings and files on the account.

This is because in the case of an emergency if you want, you can log in on any new Windows 10-powered device to quickly access all your files along with your personalized settings without the need of tweaking all the settings to your liking from the scratch. If you faintly remember the steps then you must have noticed that there is no other option for users but to use a Microsoft account. This means that if you don’t have a Microsoft account then you would need to sign in for one during the Windows 10 setup process.
